10 Questions to Ask about Electricity Tariffs attempts to capture some of the critical dimensions of tariff determination, primarily in regulated markets. Tariff determination—the process of determining the price of electricity to consumers—has far-reaching impacts throughout the electricity sector. It not only affects the financial viability of the sector and the quality and affordability of consumer services, but it also raises social and environmental concerns. The questions raised can serve multiple functions. For example, utilities can use them to design technical workshops and public consultations that seek innovative ways of, for example, better targeting subsidies. Civil society groups can use these questions to prepare for public consultations and assess various aspects of a utility’s tariff proposal.
